Thursday, November 8th, 2012 Nightlife Guide

Thursday’s Rio Nightlife Pick – After two successful editions, Studio RJ opens their doors again to Rio’s very own hip hop collective Eletrobase and MCs Familia Luk. After having celebrated their one year anniversary, Studio RJ is keeping the momentum going with live shows such as this from week to week.

Eletrobase is Rio’s premier underground hip hop collective. Going strong since 1999, Eletrobase consist of DJs Saci, Lulinha, and Dadu. Crushing dance-floors with their unique DJ performances, the crew performs using four turntables and MPC’s, creating live remixes and demonstrating their turntable skills. The group derives their musical inspiration from blues, jazz, rock, samba, reggae, funk and more.

Eletrobase also produce Canal Eletrobase, a streaming hip hop program with live turntablism, DJ sets, MC performances and interviews.
